How they differ

• Per square kilometre that is 744 in Phuket against 3.6 in Iceland: Phuket is 209× as densely populated.
• Their centres are about 10,400 km apart.
• A standard web map misstates the comparison: Iceland at 65°N is drawn about 5.6× too large and Phuket at 8°N about 1.0×, so the map shows Iceland as 1,009× the size of Phuket instead of 184×.
• Together Iceland and Phuket cover 103,000 km², close to the size of South Korea (98,500 km², 4.3% smaller).
• The gap between them, 102,000 km², is about the size of South Korea (98,500 km²).
• At Phuket's density, Iceland would have 76.2 million people (it has 364,000). At Iceland's density, Phuket would have 1,980 (it has 414,000).

• Together they have 779,000 people, about as many people as Bhutan.
• Phuket is drawn from 37 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.
• Counted as a country, Phuket would rank 195th by area and 175th by population.
